Bloomberg Twists Gun Research To Political Ends
Investor's Business Daily ^ | January 12, 2016 | John R Lott Jr

Michael Bloomberg keeps pouring $50 million into his Everytown organization to push gun control. That's just a portion of the money he's spending to push gun control. Bloomberg is spending money not just on the political battle, but also on funding research that he can use to push for more gun control and training the media on how to properly cover the issue.

While everyone sees that Bloomberg's TV ad spending easily dwarfs what the NRA spends, what has gone unnoticed is how heavily he's spending on research. Few may have noticed how heavily President Obama's speech introducing his new executive orders on guns relied on Bloomberg manufactured "facts."

"Congress actually voted to make it harder for public health experts to conduct research into gun violence; made it harder to collect data and facts and develop strategies to reduce gun violence."

This claim stems from another study funded by Michael Bloomberg. . . .

Mr. Bloomberg also tried to remove sugar from soda pop, replaced it with corn syrup....twice as fattening as natural sugar. His attempt to remove guns from lawful owners will be no more successful.

Michael Bloomberg's ego surpasses Obama's and is really not good for the health of New Yorker's. Michelle Obama smokes the same pipe.........

Source? All I've ever heard was Bloomberg's attempt to limit sweetened drinks to 16 oz or less. Never heard anything about banning sugar in favor of corn syrup.
